Quest for the King

We could not make it back to the tower, so we go further inside, fight a Displace Beast pack leader and fight Skalmad, who we learn is actually possessed by Vard. Turns out, Vard controls Skalmad’s body ever since Skalmad go the Moran’s eye. After killing and resurrecting Several Times, we take the Moran’s eye and Falin finally destroys the Stone Cauldron. We then find the Baron’s son, Etheran’s body and I revive it. We explain the whole story of Sertrous to him and we make it to an Eladrin city, where we find a portal home, but Falin decides to stay in the Feywild to study information that might be valuable in our final battle with Sertrous. We make it back to the Barony of Therund, and we have a climactic battle with the Baron’s advisor, who turns out to be a Yuan-Ti cultist in disguise. During the battle, Scar manages to put the Circlet on the Baron, who is than killed when a Yuan-Ti abomination poisons him. Etheran grieves, but we still manage to fend off the Yuan-Ti, and when the Priests attempt to revive the Baron, nothing can happen. This is a sad time.

We make it through the Feywild after leaving the tower with the Fomorian, and fight off a group of evil Quicklings and Alligators. Aftwerwards, we make it to a group of Caverns, where we fight a group of Cyclops, who are trapped by their Drow Master, along with us. We manage to barely escape with our lives. We decide to take an extended rest in to abandoned tower where we fought the Fomorian, and wait to go back.

With Falin using a ten minute ritual, we manage to get back to Moonstair. We wake up and talk to Kelana (the mayor of Moonstair), we ask where Rualiss is, and she says she is already in the Feywild. We go to the Feywild portal, and it is the most beautiful thing we ever will see. We meet up with Rualiss, who tells us about the Stone Cauldron, which he actually mentioned earlier, but I will tell u now. The Stone Cauldron is a magical spring with stoen built around it. It might have the power to bring entire armies back from the grave. However, it’s power is rumored to have serious declined, and the Baron of Therund’s son is somewhere east of that location (the Stone Cauldron has a fortress built around it). We manage to get to that location using Phantom Steeds, a ritual Falin has, and we make it to a cave, where we fight Helmed Horrors, Falin using a dead Eladrin’s blood to shut them down. We make it in the cave and fight a Fomorian inside. After we kill the Fomorian, we find in it’s pocket gold pieces from the Trollhaunt Warrens, and it clearly has some connection to Skalmad.

After the Briar Hags, we went through a door and found several Troglodytes, Trolls, and Skalmad, who appeared to be talking to a couple of Drow. We managed to kill Skalmad and his Trolls and Troglodytes. The Drow escaped, saying they must warn Matron and Earlvane, and they escaped. However, Skalmad came back up and sat in his throne, teleporting, assumedly to the Feywild. I examine the Throne, and found it to be some sort of portal. I went down the stream, but found no sign of the Drow or the Troglodyte (who followed him). After that, I came back and found my teammates in Skalmad’s chambers, and Falin threw me a Shielding Girdle in Skalmad’s trophies. We then found an imprisoned human named Denthos, who tells us of Skalmad allying himself with “Theron” (which we deduce is Sertrous in his disguise as the real Theron from years ago) and tell him our adventrous tale. Denthos is from Moonstair and we decided to take him back to Moonstair, where we can possibly go ton the Fewywild location where we will find and kill Skalmad.

After Rualis tells us what do to, we go back to the Trollhaunt Warrens, facing and defeating Chuuls and Wil-o-Wisps on our way. We get in the Warrens, and find no Trolls or Troglodytes inside. We then encounter two hags and a few skeletal Trolls. They were a tough fight, but we managed to beat them. We will see what happens next.

We manage to fight off several Trolls and finally defeat them, causing them to flee. We then talk to Rualis, who invites me an Falin into his study. We learn of the true Troll King, and how he fell with the Moran’s Eye. Skalmad was the one who stole the Moran’s eye, and could be resurrected. We look on to the future for what will happen.

After defending the gate, we are confronted by an Eladrin Wizard, Rualis, who tells us to protect the town at all costs. We fight off several Trolls, and a Manticore and several Wyvern join them before Scar and Fluffy bring them down, and I bring down the last Troll. A bigger wave is approaching though, and it will be a big one.

Me and the gang get up to Moonstair, ready for the upcoming battle, and we are attacked by a bunch of Ogres and Trolls. Falin manages to kill several Ogres with her fire powers, and Scar defeats an Ogre attacking the Guards. We then meet an Eladrin Wizard and prepare for the battle to come.

We continued our way to the Barony of Therund, where we came across a group of Trolls and Wargs attacking this woman in her house. We defeated the Trolls and saved the Woman’s life. We will see what she knows or what will happen.

We made it to a group of Trogladytes who attacked us. Fluffy defeated Sark, their chieftain, which I afterwards used a Diplomacy check to force their surrender. The Shaman led us to the Troll King’s lair, and we totally creamed the Troll King. The Troll King (Skalmad) disappeared in a supernatural burst from his red eye, and now we have to defend Moonstair in the Barony of Therund at ALL costs. Wish us luck.
